Pumpkin Qunioa Muffins

My friend Lisa sent me a recipe for these yummy muffins.  I, of course, added my own twist to the recipe.  If you like pumpkin, this is a must try recipe.  They are so good and so moist!  Enjoy!

Pumpkin Quinoa Muffins



3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp cloves
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup honey
1 egg
1 egg white
1/3 cup plain yogurt
1/4 vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup pumpkin puree
3/4 cup cooked quinoa

In a bowl mix together flours, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg.  Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl combine the brown sugar, honey, egg, egg white, yogurt, oil, pumpkin, and quinoa.  Add the dry ingredients and mix just until combined.

Fill lined muffin tins 2/3's of the way full.  Bake at a 350 degree oven for 16 minutes.  Remove from the tin and allow to cool on a wire rack.
